Each division does have a certain level of fitness that is required and each training program is designed with the physical fitness level of athletes in mind.

The Tactical Nation is created with an eye on ensuring that no single discipline dominates the other. A fairly fit athlete with great tactical markmanship is able to beat a really fit athlete who's precision shooting skills may be average.

The Tactical Nation is about taking your skills and ALL ROUND capabilities to new heights.

    Intermediate level for both men and women is about being safe and competent with your firearm in moments of duress and that is what we suggest you should train for.


    Aim for a 65% accuracy in the A Zone with your hand gun at 15 metres and 65% accuracy in the C Zone at 150m with your Rifle.
